- Dental ExaminationThe first step of putting you on this oral wellness path is a comprehensive dental exam. This exam is given so that we can prioritize your treatment – making recommendations for what you need right now and planning for your future care. The more information your dentist has about you and your needs, the better he can help you.
- X-rays
- Oral Cancer ScreeningOral cancer screening: We check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, soft tissues and gums for any signs of oral cancer.
- Teeth CleaningThe most effective, safe and healthy way of treating surface staining is with a professional dental cleaning. All harmful bacterial and calcium deposits will be removed, and the teeth will be professionally polished to a high shine, removing all surface stain.
- FillingsThere are many types of filling materials available, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. You and your dentist can discuss the best options for restoring your teeth. Composite fillings, along with silver amalgam fillings, are the most widely used today. Because composite fillings are tooth-colored, they can be closely matched to the color of existing teeth, and are more aesthetically suited for use in front teeth or the more visible areas of the teeth.
- Resin CompositeThis young man was involved in a sporting accident which resulted in a severe fracture of his front teeth. A simple cosmetic addition process was used under the microscope to repair the teeth. The teeth were restored to their natural appearance in one short visit using direct bonding of composite resin.
- VeneersVeneers are very thin pieces of durable, tooth-shaped ceramic that are custom made (for shape and color) by a professional dental laboratory. They are bonded onto the front of teeth to create a beautiful and attractive smile.
- CrownsA crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. A crown protects and strengthens tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.
- Bridges
- Dental BondingBy treating only five chipped and worn teeth with porcelain veneers, a ceramic crown, and direct composite bonding, this patient’s smile was greatly enhanced, taking years off her appearance. Not only does she look younger, but her improved smile has undoubtedly had a positive impact on her overall confidence and self-esteem.
- Root Canal Treatment
- Periodontal SurgeryPatients with significant gums and bone loss may not need periodontal surgery and may benefit from this approach, showing a reduction in both the number and depth of periodontal pockets.
- Deep CleaningIf periodontal disease has advanced and measurable bone loss is evident, a more in-depth periodontal cleaning process called Scaling & Root Planing (SRP) is indicated. Sometimes referred to as deep cleaning, SRP is a site-specific treatment that targets the deep and inflamed pockets where bone loss is occurring. Our hygienists numb and completely clean and polish the root surfaces of the affected areas, removing all plaque and tartar. When appropriate, site-specific antibiotics (Atridox) can be placed into the cleaned pockets to treat the infected gums and speed healing.
- DenturesTeeth: Signs of tooth decay are looked for on the surfaces of every tooth. Your dentist will also check for any problems with fillings, braces, bridges, dentures, crowns, or other restorations.
- Dental ImplantsThis patient was introduced by his wife with a specific request: “I want you to fix my husband’s teeth and make him look young again”. The twist was that he travels extensively. The 52-year-old male presented with ill-fitting and unsightly porcelain fused to a metal bridge on the upper front part of his mouth, extensive cavities on an adjacent tooth, and a failing gold crown on the a lower molar. Treatment options included braces, an implant, and a crown to replace the missing tooth in the front bridge area. Because the patient travels extensively for business, they opted for the quickest way of enhancing his smile. The treatment was completed in two short visits and consisted of replacing the existing bridge with a modern pressed all-ceramic bridge. And in the adjacent lateral incisor. The gold crown in the back was replaced with a very strong zirconia crown to withstand his strong zirconia crown to withstand his strong bite.
- Oral Surgery
- OrthodonticsThis young lady presented with a complaint that she did not like her appearance. Aside from the large gap between her front teeth, she had an old and stained composite restoration on the upper front tooth. The treatment involved orthodontics and simple cosmetic bonding to replace the restoration.
- Invisalign OrthodonticsInvisalign clear aligners are specifically designed to give you the smile you want without any of the lifestyle changes you don’t.
- BracesInvisalign treatment is the process of wearing a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. It’s the most advanced clear aligner system in the world, backed by more than two decades of innovation. Unlike braces, Invisalign clear aligners are removable and virtually invisible. There are no wires and brackets, so you don’t need to change the way you brush and floss. And, you can continue to eat all your favorite foods.
